Question

Two stores carry a similar stereo for the same original price of $573. One store offers a 16% discount and the second store sells the stereo for $458.40. Which store gives the bigger percent discount? Justify your answer

Answer 1

When solving questions involving original price and discounts, use the following general equation:

Original price minus percent discount of original price = discount price

So, x - %x = discount price

If x = 573 and % = .16, then

573 -.16(573) = discount price.

So the discount price should be 481.32

Answer 2

The second store because after the discount from the first store, it is $481.32. The second store is still cheaper
